Hotpoint RDG 8643 WW UK N Quick Guide

To start a wash cycle, power on the machine, load your laundry, add detergent to the dispenser, select your desired wash program using the control dial, and press the start/pause button.
First, check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Ensure the pump filter is clean by accessing it at the bottom front of the machine. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Remove the detergent drawer by pulling it out and pressing the release button. Clean it under warm water with a soft brush to remove any detergent residue. Dry it thoroughly before reinserting.
Loud noises may be caused by an unbalanced load, foreign objects in the drum, or issues with the bearings. Ensure the load is evenly distributed, and check the drum for any obstructions.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer, checking and cleaning the pump filter, inspecting hoses for wear, and ensuring the drum is clean. Run a maintenance wash monthly with an empty load and hot cycle.
After the wash cycle, select a drying program using the control dial. Adjust the drying time or dryness level if needed, and press the start button. Ensure the load is suitable for drying.
Refer to the user manual for the meaning of specific error codes. Common solutions include checking water supply, ensuring the door is closed properly, or resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes.
To improve efficiency, use full loads without overloading, select the appropriate wash cycle, use high-efficiency detergent, and regularly clean the machine to prevent build-up.
To prevent mold and mildew, leave the door and detergent drawer open after each use to allow air circulation. Clean the door seal regularly and perform a maintenance wash with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner monthly.
Check if the selected drying program requires heat. Ensure the lint filter is clean and the vent is not obstructed. If the issue persists, it may require professional service as it could involve the heating element.
